Material Lists!
January 6, 2012This in from FUSElab!
January 6, 2012Profs. McMahon and Blomster have supplied the following link for easy ordering of your materials for their section of fuseLAB. All materials on list are required and colors cannot be substituted. Check to make sure you don’t already have some of the supplies listed before ordering everything, such as the ruler and compass. Note that this is for their section ONLY. Prof. Morgan will have other required materials (yet to come.)

While at home be on the look out for BOXES!
January 6, 2012
For your coLAB course next semester, you will need to bring back one or more containers. Select something that is:
1. Rigid. It should be made of wood, plastic or similar materials. (no cardboard!)
2. Closes. It has an inside and an outside.
3. Can be altered, taken apart or adapted. Avoid something that you want to leave ‘as is’.
4. At least one foot long in one direction, but can be larger!
5. It should be interesting, unusual, or distinctive and something you LIKE.
6. It should NOT be new. This should be purchased at a thrift store or garage sale or found in your parents basement! Please do not purchase a new box at a craft store!
You will need this on the FIRST day of class! You may want to bring a couple so you have choices!

Attendance Policy Reminder!
January 5, 2012Please remember that all workshops are governed by the Foundations Attendance Policy. In the Spring it is especially important to attend all classes and Wednesday meetings, since students must pass all four workshops to pass the Foundations course. The policy is as follows:
Attendance is not only mandatory but it is crucial to your success in Foundations. Roll is taken daily in all workshops as well as for the Wednesday meeting. There are no ‘excused’absences, you are either in class or absent. We understand that you may get sick or experience other difficult situations over the course of a semester, therefore we allow up to three absences without reducing your grade. Keep in mind that this is three absences for the entire semester across all workshops and including the Wednesday meeting. On the fourth absence, your grade will be lowered by a half grade. (Ex. B to B-) Please be on time, as three tardies are the equivalent of one absence. Ten or more absences will result in automatic failure of Foundations.
While we do not require a note from a doctor or any other documentation relating to your absence, we encourage you to talk to your faculty if you have an emergency that causes you to miss class. Please also share the information with either Profs. Ted Morgan, Michelle Illuminato or Angie To.
Happy New Year, Happy New Semester!
January 4, 2012When you return to Alfred, you will be taking four new studios called: seeLAB, makeLAB, fuseLAB, and coLAB. Each will require different materials and it’s best to pick those up before coming to Alfred. Faculty will be asking that I post the required materials here in the next few weeks. So please check back!
Good Work! Good Semester!
